brooklyn lady by emily the band

If I found myself in Brooklyn
Might I see you on the street
Laundry bag over your shoulder
In a sundress with those sneakers on your feet

Should I act like I don’t know you?
Should I stay out of your way?
Or should I tell you how you helped my petals
Open to the sun then walked away

And now I’m living like you taught me to
And missing you through pictures that I saved

How’s your brain been treating you?
Has the city been kind too?
Left your toolkit at my parents’ house, and I still use it

Is your hair still at your shoulders?
Have you any new tattoos?
Loved the tiger on your stomach
Now each one I see just makes me think of you

And I have misplaced my belief in shame
Because you shattered my old point of view

How’s your brain been treating you?
Has the city been kind too?
Left your toolkit at my parents’ house, and I still use it

Are you still in that apartment?
Is that girl still where your heart is?
I will stop myself from looking for you, just how you wanted

Brooklyn Lady, I’ve been missing you
Brooklyn Lady, I’ve been missing you
Brooklyn Lady, I’ve been missing you
Brooklyn Lady, I’ve been missing you
